Recent Bio

Jeff Evans is an accomplished painter and photographer based in Bordentown, New Jersey. He

has showcased his work in galleries across major cities, including New York City, Brooklyn,

Philadelphia, Trenton, Los Angeles, and Pasadena.

His paintings and watercolors are predominantly figurative, drawing inspiration from printed

magazines, advertising, digital imaging, and collage techniques. Jeff's recent work includes a

series of paintings and works on paper inspired by a 1965 Life Magazine advertisement

featuring portraits of all fifty Miss America contestants from that year. These pieces explore the

interaction of shapes within the portraits, as varying surfaces and paint applications give each

piece a unique character.

Jeff holds a Master of Fine Arts from The School of Visual Arts in New York, NY, and a Bachelor

of Fine Arts from Kutztown University in Pennsylvania. Since 2004, Jeff has been a dedicated

photographer at the Princeton University Art Museum, where he specializes in photographing

art and cultural heritage materials. His work encompasses visible light photography,

multispectral imaging, and 3D modeling using photogrammetry. Jeff’s photography has been

prominently featured in over twenty of the museum's scholarly publications.

As an avid museum and gallery visitor, Jeff’s artistic style is deeply influenced by figurative

works from the ancient world, Flemish and French painting, as well as Twentieth Century and

contemporary art.
